attention and much favorable comment.
Following this, &. w. Clark, a New
York artist, came t0the city and quietly
opened a studio in the Syndicate block,
placing few of his pictures on exhibit
ton at Wales. Mr.. Clark came unher-
aided, wisely determining to permit
his pictures to proclaim their own
merits, and there has not been an
artist in the city for long time in whose
work there is so much to praise, and so
little that deserves adverse criticism.
At Wales, his central picture is a large
canvas, the subject being the interior
of a French peasant cottage, showing
the great fire place and bake oven.
There have been several OF the best art
critics in the city to see the. pictures,
and this one ELECTS the highest praise
from all; the drawing is exceptionally
good, and the wonderful effects secured
by an evident mastery of the mysteries
of light and shade attract especial at
tention. The collection includes sew
eral water cOlOrS of superior merit. MIR.
Clark has at his studio a large number
of paintings in oil and water color, and
art lovers should not fail to see his col

nit him to take them away from the
| city. He has also on exhibition num-
